An email will be sent out with your jump block times after the event closes for entries.  

Social / Physical Distancing

Staff, Judges and Volunteers will maintain and attempt to enforce the 6-foot distance rule.

Administration area will be fenced off at least at a 6’ minimum distance from the tables to the fencing to prevent contact to the admin workers.  

Attendees

All attendees should maintain a 6-ft distance rule  and may not touch another person, dogs other than their own, or other’s property at any time.

Masks are not required AS LONG AS attendees maintain appropriate distancing from ALL competitors!!  This includes when checking in at the administration desk.

All attendees are expected to bring their own hand sanitizer and any other type of disinfecting/sanitation product they wish to use for their own use.

Payments: Checks and cash will be collected at check in and dropped by the attendee/competitor into a payment box.  If paying by cash, please bring exact payment as we can not make change!!  Prepayment can be made through Paypal.  A payment link will be provided after the official closing date of the event. 

Registration: Pre-registration is required and no day of event entries will be accepted.

Ribbons: There will be a separate ribbon table for competitors to pick up their ribbons. The ribbons will be pre-labeled with a blank sticker so that the competitor can fill in their own splash information.  If you can not remember your splash info, you will be able to find the info on the NADD portal during or shortly after your jump block completes.  If you have questions after the event about any jump, please email chestnuthillcaninesports@gmail.com .

Competition Area

Minimum of 15’ apart for dogs waiting in line for their jumps

.

There will be a table on the near side (entry side) of the dock with hand sanitizer for EVERY person entering the dock.  This is REQUIRED before entering the dock.  There will be a second table on the far (exiting) side of the dock with hand sanitizer as well.

There are no spectators allowed at this event.

Crating is allowed in or just outside of competitor’s car. ONLY. This event will not have crating or tents in other locations.

All dogs MUST be kept on a 6 foot or shorter leash. NO flexi leashes or long lines allowed during an event.

A running order will be posted. Block times will be e-mailed ahead of time so competitors know when they will be jumping.  We will also make regular announcements to alert competitors that their turn is coming up.

Crating / Parking Area

There will be parking spots setup around the pool.  These parking spots are for use during the competitors' assigned block time.  We are encouraging competitors to use these “block-time use only” parking spots since they will only be on site for a short time each day.

Event Structure

This event will be run using a 2-hour daily time block structure which allows the facility to limit the number of people on premise at one time.  Each competitor will be emailed their respective 2-hour daily time blocks after the event closes. 

There will be a maximum of 4 splashes a day.

Some competitors will jump Friday (for their Saturday, Sunday, or Monday jumps). 

AR will run at the normal time on Friday.

Competitors may arrive 30 minutes prior to their scheduled block time to check in only.  Should someone show up early, they are to stay in their car until their scheduled time except to check in.  Parking for the next block of competitors should be further from the pool until the current block of competitors leave a parking spot open.  Competitors may choose to remain parked out further if they so desire.  As long as all cars are spaced appropriately apart.

Sanitation

Gates: All gate latches and top rails will be cleaned between each 2-hour time block of competitors. 

If competitors wish to wear gloves or use a protective layer (i.e. towel, Kleenex, etc.) to open/close gates on the dock, we encourage them to provide their own protection.

There will be a table on the near side (entry side) of the dock with a bottle of hand sanitizer for EVERY person to use who will be entering the dock.  This is REQUIRED before entering the dock.  

Competitors are encouraged to bring their own hand sanitizer, wipes, etc.  We WILL have hand sanitizer available near the pool entrance and porta-potty.

Dog Waste Stations: Dog waste stations will be available throughout the property and easily accessible for all competitors.

As ALWAYS….  We are looking forward to providing a safe and positive atmosphere to successfully run the first Chestnut Hill NADD event of the season! We appreciate the flexibility and cooperation of our competitors to help make this event a success. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
